The GSMA Mobile World Congress (MWC) is the world's largest exhibition for the mobile industry, incorporating a thought-leadership conference that features prominent executives representing mobile operators, device manufacturers, technology providers, vendors and content owners from across the world.[1]


In 2014, the GSMA announced[2] that their annual summer event in China would be rebranded under the Mobile World Congress banner as "Mobile World Congress Shanghai".


In 2016, the GSMA announced the creation of Mobile World Congress Americas,[3] an event created in partnership with CTIA to bring an extension of the event to North America in 2017.


For 2019, addressing the expansion of the event's focus beyond just mobile technology, Mobile World Congress evolved the event's name to simply, MWC Barcelona. The new event brand retains the familiar acronym while placing less emphasis on ‘mobile’ to reflect the broadening scope of communications today. Building off of the recognition and success of the MWC name, the events in Shanghai and the Americas will also now be referred to as MWC Shanghai and MWC Los Angeles, as the Americas regional event will remain in Los Angeles for a second year.
